The First Grand Jury
The first grand jury to be selected in Muscatine was composed of Robert Bamford, Benjamin Baston, Edward E. Fay, Robert C. Kinney, Jonathan Pettibone, Eli Reynolds, A. L. McKee, Joseph Mounts, Thomas J.Starke, Nathan Parsons, Samuel Parker, William Sparks, Christopher Barnes, John Briggs, Levi Chamberlain, Norman Fullington and Anderson Pace. Robert Bramford, foreman.
James W. Woods ("Old Timber"), was appointed district attorney pro term for the county. His first official act was the successful removal of this venire and the issue of a new one. Among the first cases to come before the grand jury were those of James Casey, Moses Couch and E.E. Fay, charged with selling liquor to the Indians; James Casey; Christopher Barnes and Norman Fullington for assault; bills were found. In all there were seventeen presentments. it will be seen that certain members of the grand jury were indicted, either for assault, or gambling.
